Chinese food is different from western food, and the seats are very particular. If you only know part of it, you may make mistakes then. You need to know in detail. When arranging banquets, the specific seats on each table are also different.
There are four basic methods of ranking, and they often work at the same time. The first method is that most hosts should sit facing the main entrance and sit at the main table.
The second method is to hold a multi-table banquet, and each table must have a representative of the host of the main table present. The position is generally in the same direction as the main table owner, and sometimes it can face the main table owner.
The third method is the ranking of each table, which should be based on the distance from the owner of the table, with the near as the top and the far as the bottom. The fourth method is that each table is at the same rank as the owner of the table, and the right is the respect, that is, the owner of the table is the subject, the right is the respect, and the left is the inferiority.
In addition, the number of people arranged at each table should be limited to 10, preferably even. For example, six people, eight people and ten people.
If there are too many people, it is not easy to take care of them, but it may also be impossible to sit down. According to the arrangement method of the above four rankings, the specific arrangement of the round table rankings can be divided into two specific situations.
They are all related to theme. The first case: the arrangement method of one theme per table.
It is characterized in that there is only one host at each table, the host and guest sit at the right head, and each table has only one conversation center. The second case: the arrangement of two themes at each table.
It is characterized in that the host and wife sit at the same table, with the male host as the first host and the female host as the second host, and the guest of honor and the lady of the guest of honor sit on the right side of the male and female hosts respectively. Each table thus objectively forms two conversation centers, as shown in Figure 9-5 and Figure 9-6.
If the status of the guest of honor is higher than that of the host, to show respect, you can also arrange to sit in the host's seat and ask the host to sit in the host's seat. 1. Chopsticks Chopsticks are the most important tableware in Chinese food.
Chopsticks are usually used in pairs. When picking vegetables and eating with chopsticks, we should pay attention to the following "small" problems: First, don't lick whether there is food left on the chopsticks.
Isn't it a bit appetizing to pick up vegetables with licked chopsticks? Second, when talking to people, you should put down your chopsticks temporarily, and you can't dance with chopsticks like a baton while talking. Third, don't put chopsticks vertically on food.
Because this kind of insertion is only used when paying homage to the dead. The fourth is to strictly enforce the functions of chopsticks.
Chopsticks are only used to hold food. It is impolite to use it to pick teeth, scratch or pick up things other than food.
2. Spoon Its main function is to scoop up dishes and food. Sometimes, when eating with chopsticks, you can also use a spoon to assist.
Try not to use a spoon to get food. When taking food with a spoon, don't overfill it, so as not to spill it and dirty the dining table or your clothes.
After scooping up food, you can "pause" for a moment in the same place, and then move back to enjoy the soup when it won't flow down again. When you don't use the spoon temporarily, you should put it on your own plate. Don't put it directly on the dining table or let it stand at attention in the food.
After taking food with a spoon, eat it immediately or put it on your own plate, and don't put it back. And if the food you take is too hot, you can't scoop it with a spoon or blow it with your mouth. You can put it in your own bowl and wait for it to cool before eating.
Don't put a spoon in your mouth, or suck or lick it repeatedly. 3. The smaller plate is the plate, which is mainly used to hold food, and it is similar to the bowl in use.
Plates should generally be kept in place on the dining table and should not be piled up together. What needs to be introduced emphatically is a kind of dish called dishware with special purpose.
The main function of the dish is to temporarily put the dishes taken from the public dish plate for enjoyment. When using a dish, don't take too many dishes at a time. It looks messy and like a hungry ghost reborn.
Don't stack a variety of dishes together, or they will "taste" each other, which is not good-looking or delicious. Don't spit the residue, bones and thorns you don't eat on the floor and table, but gently take them and put them at the front end of the food plate. When you put them, you can't spit them directly from your mouth on the food plate, but put them next to the plate with chopsticks.
If the plates are full, you can ask the waiter to change them. 4. Cup, mainly used to hold water, soda, fruit juice, cola and other soft drinks.
Don't use it to hold wine, and don't invert the glass. In addition, what you drink in your mouth can't be spit back into the glass.
Before the Chinese meal, if you are more particular, you will put a wet towel on each diner. It can only be used to wipe hands.
After wiping your hands, you should put them back on the plate and take them away by the waiter. Sometimes, a wet towel will be put on before the formal banquet is over.
Different from the former, it can only be used to wipe your mouth, but not your face or sweat. 6. Toothpick.
Try not to pick your teeth in public. Cover your mouth with your other hand when you have to pick it up. Don't watch it in public or enter again, and don't throw it around or spit it out casually.
After picking your teeth, don't hold a toothpick for a long time, let alone use it to get food.
